You can share your power wire. You need to use a Distribution block though..1 wire in,multiple out. Depending on what amps you are using and how far they are from the battery will determine the gauge of the wire. If you have 8awg now,you may want to use 4awg to add the amp. Each amp should have its own ground.The remote wire can be added to what you already have in there. As far as your outputs on your radio...You are using the subs out already for the amp you have now correct? then one or both of the other outputs should be used for the second amp. Whenever you share one set of preouts you loss voltage from the source,therefore losing power and quality to your amp. I hope this has been helpful.
